PENNE WITH TUNA IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Take a smaller pot, add the olive oil, and heat it up. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent.
• When that's done, add the minced garlic and the tomato puree and mix it together with salt and pepper. When it starts boiling, add the tuna chunks and the chopped fresh basil.
• Leave it to cook on low heat for about 6-8 minutes. You might need to add 40-60ml of water as well, to have enough sauce!
